RIESLING URZIGER WURZGARTEN GG 2019 - DR. LOOSEN

Dr. Loosen Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling 2019 is one of the best and most fabulous Rieslings you can try without spending a fortune (93 pts by Falstaff and 96 pts by Robert Parker). Its name means "the spicy garden of Urzig" and it is one of the most important Grand Cru vineyards of Mosel!

The Urziger Wurzgarten vineyard is one of the oldest vineyards on Mosel. Imagine that vines’ age exceeds 130 years. At the same time, its soil is volcanic and rich in red granite, a fact that contributes to the intense mineral character of the wine and its tremendous concentration. The grapes are picked by hand, the wine is then fermented with ambient yeasts and matured for at least a year in large, old, and neutral barrels. After bottling, it matures for another year in the bottle.

The result cannot be described in words… The wine has such a structure that you cut it with a knife, dense tropical fruit, sharp acidity, and intense mineral character. Now it is unbelievable but if you have patience until 2050 it will have become simply mythical!

If we, were you, we would get at least 2 bottles of Dr. Loosen Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling 2019!

Dr. Loosen Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling 2019 has pale lemon color and an intoxicating nose, with aromas of lime, apricot, mango, lemon, passion fruit, dough, grapefruit, lemon blossom, and honeycomb. Hints of minerality and dough complete the special bouquet.

In the mouth, it has a full body and sharp acidity. Juicy citrus fruits such as lemon, lime, and citron are mixed with pineapple, apricot, peach, honeycomb, lemon blossom, and jasmine on a background of diffuse minerality.
